This is false, attendance at Nascar events has been dropping steadily. Now they cover up entire sections of stands with sponsor logos and even position the cameras so that those watching at home can't see just how few people are there.

So, would that mean that less people are enjoying NASCAR or more are watching it at home.......?

And it’s the only form of high speed racing where cars go into a corner 3-4 abreast. The other thing people don’t realize is, these cars are going $150+ all the time…and that’s when miscalculations or mistakes become much more of a problem. Add in the fact that the cars are inches apart and it can be exciting, and people get into it.

And the founding premise for NASCAR was awesome. But over time it just became too corporate, and more importantly, too regulated. My beef with NASCAR has always been, what’s the point of racing cars that have to meet a vast list of specs and standards that basically render them all the exact same in both looks and performance. The only differences are the drivers and suspension settings. Yes NASCAR is about the drivers, but I prefer forms of racing where there are more differences between teams.

That’s one reason I love LeMans, it’s still a true manufacturer race, at least in the GT classes.
